HIS SACRIFICE.
IT m a hot, sultry day toward the
Uat of Jul. la tka front room of
a f ssbJonsble boardlnx-bonoe aat a
yonag girl of IS.
fow momants later the door swung
open and bar brother, a young artist,
entered. Ho greeted bar pioasantly aa
be prepared to rafreak himself.
"Weil. Trlz, bow bare yon been to

"O, as nncomfortable as ever,' aba
replied, peerlsbly.
"Never mind, dear; perhaps we will
bare more money another summer.
"Always patience," abe replied cross
ly. "If a wen enough for people to talk
wben they bare money, bnt then,
what's the nae fnaalng; I never bare
bad anything since we came to New
Tort.'
"My dear Trlx, I think yon are a little
on kind. Ton krvw I bare tried to give
yon everytbinf I could possibly afford.
O, Trlx, yon mustn't talk so.'
"Forgive me, Chaoncey. I will try to
do without It"
Tbafe the girl," and be smoothed
the pretty hair from the white forehead
and sighed. He wished to see bis sis
ter as well dressed aa other girls, but
circumstances forbade; bis pictures did
not sea, and be felt the time was fast
approaching wben they would hare to
leave their pleasant rooms and go to
some other part of the city.
One evening, about three months
later, Chauncey Selford came home,
looking ill.
Trlx was there, but she did not notice
ber brother's careworn face, because
he was engaged in making a dress to
be worn a week later at the grand ball
given by Mrs. Charles Carlton, sister of
Lord Percy Carlton.
As he entered the room Trlx looked
up.
"Here Is something Mrs. Bradbury's
footman gave me. I have not opened
It yet" He tossed It over to her as be
rpoke.
"O, Chauncey, an Invitation to Gussle
Bradbury's reception a week from to
day. Ton will go," she added, looking
up into his face.
"I cannot," be replied. "Bnt If you
really wish to go," as her face fell, "I
can hire a carriage."
"What shall I wear?" she said a mo
ment later.
"Why, the drees you are making."
"I can't wear that; lt'a for the ball."
"Then you can stay at home," be re
plied, huffily, as he left the room.
"What can be the matter with nine,"
be thought "Why, he never spoke a
cross word to me before. O, If I could
marry some rich old man, then Chaun
aey would have time and money to
study art"
Meanwhile Cbauncey had gone to bis
little studio, and after shutting the door
threw himself Into the armcnair and
burled his face in his hands.
That night he bad meant to tell
Beatrix that they would have to leave
their rooms and go where they could
Live cheaper. Then the Invitation to
the reception. He could not go and
eould not well let ber go. '
"It Is of no use to fight against pov
erty," be said, bitterly. "We will al
ways be poor, and we might as well
live as our means will allow, w'thont
this pretension."
Jnst then a knock at the door and a
young lady entered.
"Miss Fairfax," be exclaimed In sur
prise. "Ab! I have taken you quite una
wares, have I not?" with a sweet smile
on her face. "But you will certainly
pardon that when I tell you I bring
you work. Mrs. Carlton wishes these
pictures." and she handed bim a list
That will help you, will It not?"
"You are my good angel, Edythe. If
I could only have a chance to study art
I could make a living."
"It Is too bad, Cbauncey, but If yon
would let me help."
"No, Edythe, I must fight my own
battles without help."
"iWIl," after a few moments' silence,
"I must go. How Is Beatrix?"
"Pretty well," he said with a sigh.
And seeing he was in no mood for talk

Beatrix went to the reception.
Lord
Percy Carlton she first met there, who,
being much Interested In ber history.
after a few months of marked atten
tion, married her.
They went immediately abroad.
Beatrix said before she went that upon
their return Chauncey could go abroad
to study art
'Two years had flown by and not a
line had she written him. At length,
poor and careworn, he took a room In
the slums of tbe city. What little
sketches he made for a paper barely
kept him alive.
Edythe had tried faithfully to find
him, but had failed.
One day as she was passing through
tbe slums on an errand of charity, she
happened to glance np at a window and

Chopin's Appreciative Audience.
When Chopin, the great composer and
pianist, was a young man, be traveled
through Poland with a friend and was
one day snowbound. Some peasants
succeeded In getting the sleigh out of
tne an ft, and escorted the strangers to
a post-bouse to exchange horses.
As the travelers entered the little
house, Chopin went to the piano, and,
striking a few chords, enj.'lalrued Joy
fully. "Santa Cecilia, the piano la tn
tuner' and seated himself at the Instru
ment As he sat there improvising, the
peasants stole in and stood watching
bim with mingled amazement and de
light "We shall see whether they are lovers
of music," said Chopin softly to bis
friend, and thereupon be began to play
his fantasia on Polish airs. The peas
ants stood in silence, their eyes fixed on
the pianist's flying fingers and their
faces irradiated with pleasure.
Suddenly the postmaster announced,
"The horses are ready." Chopin start
ed up, but a dozen voices cried, "Finish
that wonderful piece finish ItH And
the postmaster, who had heard only a
few bars, said pleadingly:
"I'll give you a courier, horses, every
thing yon want If you will remain Just
a little while."
The fantasia was finished, and at last
the pianist was allowed to depart
though with many expressions of sor
row from the enraptured group.
Tears afterward, wben all Paris fell
under the charm of bia skill, Chopin
often recalled the tribute paid bim by

said, 'and I've yet to discover that It

BODY OF EDWARD VI.
IS FOUND.
of Kaalaad's aUaeia
atlas
Are Das Up at Windsor.
The body of Edward VU the boy
King of England, who reigned front
1347 to 1553, has, it la believed, been
found at Windsor, England.
It recalls the Bluebeard King Hen
ry VIIL and his six wives; tbe pathetic
boy King, bia son; the unhappy Lady
Jane Grey; the boy King's sisters.
"Bloody Mary" and the great Eliza
beth, and all tbe romances and trage
dies of that great Tudor period, when
men staked their lives on their religion
and their politics and the English na
tion was being created.
Tbe resting place of every King, from
the Norman conquest down to Queen
Victoria's predecessor, la known and
suitably marked, with tbe solitary ex
ception of Edward VI. "
Thla King alone has no tomb. In the
great Abbey of Westminster, where his
grandfather, Henry VII, first of the
Tudors, built a beautiful chapel, there
Is no stone, to bis memory. Neither is
there st Royal Windsor, where his ter
rible father waa burled. In no building
of the Church of England, which be
helped so greatly to establish, is there
a memorial to poor Edward.
There are authentic accounts of tbe
arrangements for hla funeral, but when
It cornea to tbe matter of burial there
Is no precise record. Tbe fact that a
King of England lies dead without a
monumental tomb to his memory Is as
tounding.
Is this mystery to be cleared away
aner suu years and more? it seems
probable. An ancient coffin has been
unearthed in Royal Windsor, and the
body it contains Is declared by high
arcbeologlcal authority to be that of
King Edward VL
Workmen were making tbe founda
tions for a new station on tbe Great
Western Railroad at Win 'sor. Re
cently they were excavating Thames
street near tbe great castle which has
been tbe chief residence of the sover
eigns of England for 800 years. Near
est to tbe place where the men were at
work Is the Curfew tower of the castle,
and not far away are tbe Garter tower,
the Salisbury tower, and Henry VIII.'s
gateway.
At a spot about 100 yards from the
Curfew tower, fourteen feet below the
street level and four feet in tbe chalk,
their pickaxes struck something that
gave a hollow sound. In a few min
utes they unearthed a great wooden
cofflo.
Tbe excitement in quiet old Windsor
waa great Tbe police formed a cordon
about tbe trench and tbe coffin was
placed on a wagon and driven to the
Windsor cemetery mortuary. There a
careful examination was made by Dr.
Hulbert In the presence of Mr. F. Lay
ton, chairman of the Windsor burial
board, and other persons of local Im
portance. It. was found that there
were really three coffins, one outside
tbe other. Tbe outer one, of oak, was
mnch decayed. It broke and crumbled
at tbe touch, but tbe bronze bandies
and copper nails and fastenings were
Intact though corroded. There waa no
sign of any name on any of tbe cof
fins. Fitting closely Inside the outer case
was a beautiful leaden coffin, smooth
as the top of a dining-room table. This
Inclosed a wooden shell In which the
body was actually found, hidden from
view by a quantity of fine sawdust Tbe
corpse was wrapped in a silken em
broidered shroud of exquisite texture,
and did not crumble to dust when ex
posed to the air, showing that the body
had been embalmed In a very careful
manner. About the neck waa a heavy
gold chain. From this apparently a
locket or pendant had been removed.
wMch might have furnished a clew to
tbe Identity of the corpse.
The coffins and everything connect
ed with them were of the finest quality.
The metal handles were beautifully
wrought The dead man had clearly
been of rank and wealth. This fact
made the absence of any Inscription on
the coffin all tbe more mysterious.
Those who saw tbe body say that It
waa that of a boy or a frail man. It
waa gracefully formed. Tbe face waa
intelligent The bands and feet were
remarkably small and delicate. Tbe
hair was fair and long. There waa no
beard on lip or chin. This description
corresponds very closely with that of
tbe body of the boy King Edward VI.
as given by chroniclers of his time.
The skin of the corpse had assumed a
dark brown color. At the back of tbe
neck there waa a deep dent Whether
this had been made after death or
whether It waa a mark of violence re
ceived In life Is in dispute. Tbe body
was buried under an ancient street and
could not have been placed there less
than 800 years sgo.

Lydla E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com.
. pound is Especially Successful ha
Curing this Fatal Woman's Disease.
Of all the diseases known with which the female organism is afflicted, kidney
disease ia the most fatal. In fact, unless early and correct treatment is ap
plied, the weary patient seldom aurvives. ...
Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pinkham, early in her career, gave ex
haustive study to the subject, and in producing her great remedy for woman's
iia Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was careful to see that it
contained the correct combination of herbs which was sure to control that
fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles. The Vegetable Compound acts in har
mony with the lawa that govern the entire female system,. and while the.
are many so called remedies for kidney troubles. Lvdia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound is the only one especially prepared for women.
The following letters will show how marvellously successful it is :

pains. Menses have not appeared for

bled with a white discharge, and I also
have kidney and bladder trouble. . .
I have been this way for a long time,
and feel so miserable I thought I
would write to you, and see if you
eould do me any good." Miss Eoxa

for years as I do at present. Before
taking your medicine a more miser

Although tbe akin of an ostrich is

eggs when he has discovered an os

Once, and once only, I bad the good
fortune to take an ostrich's nest al
though fresh eggs were not infrequent

served with our telescopes two birds
standing for some time In the same
spot and were Induced to ride toward
them. They rapidly scudded off, but on
Intersecting their track we turned back
and retraced It Instead of continuing a
vain pursuit
an osincn s iracK is Dy no means
easy either to follow or to retrace, for
bis stride measures, when he Is at full
speed, from twenty-two to twenty
eight feet; and the oblong Impression of
two toes at so wide intervals affords
no very evident track to any eyes less
expert than those of a Bedouin hunts
man. We retraced the Impression to the
spot where we had seen the birds stand
ing together, and where the sand was
well trodden down. Two Arabs at
once dismounted and began to dig with
their hands, and presently they brought
up four fresh eggs from a depth of
about a foot under tbs. warm sand.
Ostrich-egg omelet we always found
a most welcome addition to our desert
bill of fare, and a convenient and por
table provision, for from the thickness
of the shell the eggs keep perfectly
sweet and fresh for a fortnight or three
weeks.
